New stuff

By BadMotivator, in Army Building

So figuring out a list to use the new E-WEB emplacements.

General Veers with Commanding Presence

2x Snowtroopers with Flametrooper and +1 trooper 80 pts each

4x Stormtroopers with DLT-19 and +1 Trooper 79 pts each
2x E-Web Heavy Blaster Team Barrage Generator 65 pts each
74-Z Speeder Bikes with HQ Uplink

796/800 pts

Veers can give the E-WEB's aim tokens each turn to maximize their firepower, so they can spend one action to flip Barrage Generator instead of aiming. Speeder Bikes can use HQ Uplink to get an order on vital turns.

Seem good? Any improvements to be made?

If you stay close to the E-WEBs and have HQ Uplink on the bikes, then you don't really need to have commanding presence. If I were running 2 E-WEBs, I would probably run it something like this:


++ Standard (Galactic Empire) [800 Points] ++

+ Commander +

•General Veers [85 Points]: Esteemed Leader

+ Corps +

Snowtroopers [85 Points]: Flametrooper, Impact Grenades, Snowtrooper

Snowtroopers [85 Points]: Flametrooper, Impact Grenades, Snowtrooper

Stormtroopers [79 Points]: DLT-19 Stormtrooper, Stormtrooper

Stormtroopers [79 Points]: DLT-19 Stormtrooper, Stormtrooper

Stormtroopers [79 Points]: DLT-19 Stormtrooper, Stormtrooper

Stormtroopers [68 Points]: DLT-19 Stormtrooper

+ Support +

74-Z Speeder Bikes [100 Points]: HQ Uplink†

E-Web Heavy Blaster Team† [75 Points]: Barrage Generator†, HQ Uplink†

E-Web Heavy Blaster Team† [65 Points]: Barrage Generator†

+ Command Hand +

Command Hand: •Ambush, •Maximum Firepower, ••Evasive Maneuvers, ••Push, •••Assault, •••Imperial Discipline, ••••Standing Orders

++ Total: [800 Points] ++

Maybe even drop some extra troopers and stuff for scout troopers, depending on the cost of the heavy weapons.

It makes some sense to have HQ uplinks on the E-Webs if you plan to be recovering with them anyway. That way they always have their barrage generator and uplink refreshed and ready to go as well as relieving suppression. Veers can then focus on ordering the troopers and bikes with long range comms. Scouts with long range comms could be handy if you're holding Veers back.
